I am too busy for spirituality!

By: Janardhan McIntosh – Prema Shanti Yoga and Meditiation Retreat

A unexamined life is a wasted life, to live a powerful life free from fear is to embrace the unknown and make it known, the innermost longing of the human experience is to love and be loved, to feel the love beyond understanding, divine love, this is only possible through knowing yourself on all levels, then integrating all aspects of your multi-dimensional reality, harmonizing your emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual bodies, unfortunately the human condition dictates that we learn and grow mostly through pain, it’s the instigator of change, why change when your life is fine? Agitation precedes great learning. For most of us we want to lead empowered fear free lives, to do this we need to learn, and then experience our divine nature, our connection to all that is.

Can an atheist be spiritual?

By: Janardhan McIntosh – Prema Shanti Yoga and Meditiation Retreat

The reality is there is no such thing as an atheist, some one who declares he is an atheist is a person who interprets his understanding of life on an intellectual level, using only the five senses to make his evaluation on whether God is real or not, unaware of the higher sense perceptions, the reality is, if an atheist took up the practice of meditation with sincerity and earnestly,  he would quickly begin to realize that there is more to life than he previously experienced, and become open to the realization that there is an intelligence behind the creation that is referred to as God.

When someone makes an emphatic declaration such as I am an atheist, he has an egoic point to prove, his cup is full, you cannot pour new learning into a already fill cup, its like trying to explain the color yellow to a blind man, a blind man has no concept of color, similarly an atheist has no concept or experience with the divine.

The mind is limited when it comes to grasping the infinite nature of God, in the beginning of your spiritual journey, your intellect, discrimination, and judgment are essential tools for your spiritual advancement, eventually you will leave them behind as your faith becomes steady and strong through your own intimate experiences with the divine.
